Sinking Lyrics

It's not my problem anymore
You see it never really was
So you can stop caring as you call it
And I'll be fine right here

You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you

[Chorus]
But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
And you are forever healing

You can't hear what I'm not saying
And I can hold out long enough
Treading water I keep from sinking
I'm not one for reaching

You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you

[Chorus]

You see that I can play
A pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you

[Chorus: x2]

Very simple meaning...we constantly go astray, Jesus constantly calls us back...

The bridge before the piano solo...

Deny myself, deny my heart Deny your hand, deny your help and you offer me eternity but why should I buy that?

That's the entire key to the song right there...classic stuff

Cover art for Sinking lyrics by Jars of Clay

I live in a constant state of doubt. I’ve doubted my salvation for as long as I can remember. I know God’s Word. I know His promises. But knowing that and actually FEELING that are two completely different things. I can’t live with blind faith and hope for the best because I constantly always fail. It doesn’t matter how much I repent, how much I pray, how much I read the Bible, I still fail and still always doubt. I try to deny myself, and deny my heart, I desire it, but it never happens. If falls flat. The line that hits the hardest “so why should I buy that”…
